Ofsted inspected the early years provider on 4th February 2014.
The report reveals the provision is ‘Good’ because,
- Staff have good, secure understanding of the areas of learning and consistently provide a broad range of educational experiences to successfully improve children’s learning.
- Children have a wide range of opportunities to make choices and decisions during their play. This rapidly increases children’s practical skills and helps them to gain independence.
- The key person system in place strongly increases children’s level of attachment and very effectively supports the children’s transition between the nursery rooms.
- Children have ample opportunities to choose active and interesting outdoor play experiences that stimulates and encourages independence and cooperation.
They say it is not yet outstanding because,
- The records of children’s learning and the plans for their next steps in development do not fully show parents how they can promote learning at home and in this way encourage parents to contribute to children’s progress.
- Some children wait for longer periods to use the toilets during the lunchtime routines, resulting in younger children not fully understanding how to manage their social and emotional behaviour.
